InDesign CS 5.5: Custom Footnote and style for ePub

Hello
i am wondering if there is away to:
create custom footnote, so instead of normal number i want to InDesign to create it with parentheses.
when i paste the text for that note at the bottom of the page, InDesign add extra space between the number and the text, is there any way to decrease the space
i have a book that has so many chapters and InDesign keeps counting the footnote like (1,2,3,4,.......66) and so on, is there any way to control the footnote so every chapter start with number (1)?
regards

Hi, Omar:
In Type > Document Footnote Options, you can set a parenthesis or other prefix and suffix character. Adjust the space after the footnote number by choosing a separator; if you choose a tab, set the tab stop position for the footnote paragraph style. Create a footnote paragraph style if you don't have one, and specify it in the Footnote Formatting area of the Footnote Options dialog box.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign footnote formatting" without quotes for details.
I'm not sure how much of the formatting will be retained in an ePub.

  • Create a new set of skin and style for OC4J

    hi, I have created a new set of skin and style
    for example,
    just duplicated folders s_oracle10 , sk_oracle10 and rename them as s_oracle10b , sk_oracle10b (in \OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res)
    however, I found that there is no new choice - oracle10b in the dropdownlist for selecting style.
    how to create a new set of skin and style ??

    I have read Oracle® Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Release Notes Version 10.1.3.4.1 E10404-25
    =====================================================================
    In Chapter 10, the section "About Skins and Styles" contains incomplete
    information. The following information should appear after the section's first
    paragraph:
    Respective Web servers require resource files like styles to be deployed
    appropriately for those applications. For example, when using OC4J as is common
    in Oracle BI deployments, skins, styles and images need to be duplicated in the
    following directories:
    – {OracleBI}\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res
    – {OracleBI}\web\app\res
    As a rule, customer-specific files like custom styles should live in the
    {OracleBIData} folders so these are not lost during upgrades. In this case, the
    custom style would then be deployed to OC4J as described above and to the
    following directory: {OracleBIData}\web\res
    ===================================================================== copied from the pdf
    we need to copy the new set to two directories.
    however, I found that resources of the new set are from {OracleBI}\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res
    not from {OracleBI}\web\app\res
    if there is a upgrade or redeployment, will the new set be removed or replaced.
    why isn't load from {OracleBI}\web\app\res?
    how to configure to make it load from {OracleBI}\web\app\res?
    thanks

  • How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

    In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
      Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
    Try
    If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
    Return “-“
    End If
    If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
    Return "-"
    End if
    Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
    Catch
    Return "-"
    End Try
    End Function
    I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
      =Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like: 
    -78.9473684210
    80
    300
    -100
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

    Hi AngP,
    After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
    compared.
    To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
    BackgroundColor:
    =iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • JSP Custom Tag and Expressions for parameters

    This should be an easy question. I am trying to use an expression for a
              parameter to a jsp or custom jsp tag. When I hard code a value for the
              parameter, the tag works fine but when I use the expression, the expression
              gets evaluated but the tag itself does not resulting in the tag being shown
              in my output.
              For example:
              <jsp:forward page="www.slashdot.org"/> works
              <jsp:forward page="<%=request.getParameter("DESTINATION")%>"/>
              places the following into my html output
              <jsp:forward page="www.slashdot.org"/>
              Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or at least offer some
              debugging hints?
              Thanks in advance!
              Jacob Meushaw
              

    I have experienced almost this exact same problem, but with a custom
              tag. And I did make sure that my attribute specified
              <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>. Here is the weird part.
              If I do the following JSP code everything works fine:
              <% String foo = request.getParameter("bar"); %>
              <mytag:custom param="<%= foo %>"/>
              But if I do this:
              <mytag:custom param="<%= request.getParameter("bar") %>"/>
              I get the following in my html output:
              <mytag:custom param="whatever bar is set to in the request"/>
              It appears that the JSP container only does a one pass evaluation.
              Is this the spec of is this a bug?

  • Will Apple ever allow customized fonts and sizes for home screen?

    6 Plus 64 GB. Over all love it, but the top "bar" displays are freakishly small especially the time display top center. Extremely difficult to read. Even on lock screen which is much bigger, the font is so thin that it nearly disappears depending on color scheme of background. As opposed to an App to display something different, it might be nice if Apple allowed the option. Any suggestions? Thx.

    There are a couple of choices. While you cannot do anything about the status bar text, as far as the clock is concerned, you can go into Settings>General>Accessibility and select Bold Text. That will take the thin out of the clock.

  • Images and caption for epub

    Hi,
    I have a lot of pictures with captions in my ebook and want them to appear together on the same page. My pictures are anchored in the center of the page so are the captions.
    I tried to group them but still the image and caption appears most of the time on a separate page.  I even tried to put the caption on top of the picture but still the caption and image are on a separate page.
    Any idea?
    Thanks a lot!!

  • Title and subtitle for ePub project name

    Can't even start my ePub project, because the title won't pass. I have tried several permutations after reviewing the Lulu knowledge base and the forum. Based on my understanding of information from this forum, the following should be OK:
    Lessons from the Trenches: Perspectives of a Survivor CIO
    But it doesn't pass. I have a print version which lowercases "survivor", and uses a dash with spaces on either side rather than the colon. I have tried spaces on either side of the colon but no dice.
    What blindingly obvious error am I making? Please help!
     

    It's "CIO" that is causing the error.
    You can ignore the warning and carry on.
    When your eBook is reviewed for distribution, the QA technician will recognize this as an acronym.
     

  • How do I save a custom fill and stroke setup to use on other objects?

    I created a customized stroke and fill for an item that looks like stitching on a square.  Isnt there a way to save that particular set of strokes and fills as something so I just have to click on another object and say "apply" without having to do each part of it one at a time?

    Simply drag the object to the Graphic Styles panel. It's now available to apply to other objects within the same document with one click.
    If the object to which you want to apply the style is in another document entirely:
    1. Copy/paste the original object to the new file, or better
    2. From the new document's Graphic Styles panel, choose Open Graphic Style Library>Other Library from the flyout, then navigate to the original document. A panel will open with your graphic style present. Now select the new object and click on your graphic style.

  • What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

    I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
    What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
    Thank you!

    I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
    Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
    There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
    Take care, Mike

  • Standard or custom procurment ODS, InfoCube for BI-7.0 implementation

    so can if i use 2LIS_02_HDR, 2LIS_02_ITM . can i use the standard 'purchasing' ods and infocube.
                           If i want to use standard purchasing ods,infocube then they are in BW 3.0 . But we want in BI 7.0.
    So what can i do for this one. Otherwise can i use the custom ods and InfoCube for procurement secario.
    pls suggestion mw wht i have to do ..
    i will assing the points
    kumar

    Hi.
    I thought you asked me if it was OK to use the standard DSO and Cube from rel 3.0 although you are on 7.0?
    You should use that DSO and cube, that's what I meant. You will not have any problems with using them although you are on a 7.0 system.
    Hope I'm cear, or have I misunderstood anything?
    Kind regards

  • Waited and waited for a free upgrade.

    requested for a free copy of mountain lion on july 25th 10 am and still no response.
    why doesn't apple just ask to pay instead of mentioning free upgrade.

    Typically, the grace period is 30 days. The beta was not a formal release and as such doesn't count as announcement, and wouldn't count as part of grace period. However, you might try contacting Adobe Customer Services and plead for a special case.

  • Footnotes and notecalls in XML workflow for InDesign

    I'm a french typesetter working on a project using XML workflow with a large number of footnotes. I have been searching for hours the right way to prepare the XML workflow so I would get all the notecalls and footnotes once the workflow imported in my InDesign file. Thanks in advance to any helping hand.

    I wish I could express myself in another language as well as you handle English -- and my bread and butter is typesetting text that is challenging linguistically.
    However, I also like to think of my work as setting type, and because I associate XML with robot formatting I am inherently biased against it.  Perhaps I'll learn better, but currently I'm not a good source for information on XML.
    Still, as I see it XML attempts to come up with a single source for output in various formats.  InDesign is really good for making PDF's ready for the press or for distribution electronically: it defines documents in terms of pages and offers precise control over what goes where on every page.  This is very important in my work, scholarly material that generally includes linguistic oddities requiring absolute control over fonts.  Meanwhile, footnotes -- which of course assume there are pages at whose foot they can sit -- have always been an afterthought in ID, omitted from early versions, and still the subject of many complaints for their inflexibility.
    Thus two early questions are:
    Is InDesign footnoting capable of doing what you need?  My guess is yes so long as you can tweak in ID; but if not then whoever gets tasked with using the masters you develop may not appreciate having to string a separate story of footnotes by hand across the bottoms of pages.
    Do you need to get from ID back to XML?  I've already mentioned that getting ID footnotes back into XML is a significant issue, but there are other factors: if you use ID PDFs for proofing but the ID files are not going back to XML then corrections must be made to both the XML and ID files.  And whether or not you export ID back to XML you get to figure out which ID tweaks are needed in the XML.
    Software manuals tend to explain what the software can do and omit discussion of what one might wish it could do.  One of the things I appreciate about Dorothy J. Hoskins's brief 2013 book XML and InDesign is her chapter "What InDesign Cannot Do (or Do Well) with XML," though she this isn't the only place she discusses philosophical conflicts between ID and XML.  She also touches on the value of XSLT transformations and scripting for wrangling XML, and mentions useful tidbits about Maidvald’s book since its 2007 publication.
    Good luck!

  • Can I have 2 different styles for Footnote numbers and footnote text?

    Hello,
    I have a document with plenty of footnotes.
    I would like to assign all the footnote numbers to a character style, and all the text to a different character style.
    For example, I would like to have the footnote numbers in bold and in black, while the footnote text in light and in dark gray.
    Doing this manually isn't an option obviously.
    Is that possible?
    If not are there any scripts out there that can manage it?
    Thank you
    Federico

    It is simpe to make.
    Crete a Chyaracter Style for the footnote number.
    Set up the Paragraph Style for the Footnote text.
    Go to the Nested Styles section
    Select the Character Style
    Apply it to the first specified separator symbol (like tabulator) you have choosen when you have set up your footnotes.
    Use it. It will apply automatically. Of course, you have to choose this Footnote Paragraph Style in the Footnote Set Up Settings in the Type menu.
